Gastric Band is it the Answer?
It seems to me that there is an increase in the use of gastric bands in the UK, following a trend of the operation in the US.
My question is – is it the answer?
There is no question that there are overweight people in the UK who are significantly unhappy with their weight, or suffer from medical conditions which make weight loss a necessity. In these cases it is of course important to address the issue and try to slim. In my opinion this is usually due to an unhealthy diet, lack of execise and an unhealthy relationship with food – will a drastic operation solve these problems? In some cases maybe, but I feel that it is now becoming common place and seen as a quick fix by the medical profession where other measures should be taken first.
Will this put further pressure on the public to conform and feel they have to reach the “accepted” size?
Curvy women shouldn’t feel pressured to conform and lose weight if they are healthy, exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet and are confident with their curves. One size certainly doesn’t fit all!
There is also a growing trend in the US for the operation to be performed on young teens, bodies which aren’t yet fully developed & minds which are young enough to be re trained towards a healthier relationship with food. I think it would be a terrible shame for the UK to follow suit.
Size Zero is not on Vogue
Possibly the most powerful woman in UK fashion has spoken out about the use of super skinny models in magazine shoots with a strong worded letter to fashion designers.
The editor of Vogue, Alexandra Shulman, has reportedly given them a roasting for making sample sizes so small that she has to seek out the most emaciated of models, and then Photoshop them back to health for publication in her magazine.
It’s official: being ultra-thin is no longer in vogue.
To have someone at the heart of the fashion press declare war on extreme thinness is a great victory for real women everywhere, but is only one small step in the fight against the madness of the size zero trend. It is a far cry from seeing a curvy size 16 gracing the front pages of such titles on a regular basis, but it is one of many small victories which suggest a slow change in the thinking of the fashion sector.
